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.
Piggyback Registration Rights To the extent the Company does not maintain an effective registration statement for the Warrant Shares and in the further event that the Company files a registration statement with the Commission covering the sale of its shares of Common Stock (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8, or on another form, or in another context, in which such “piggyback” registration would be inappropriate), then, for a period commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and terminating on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date, the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Warrant Shares as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) business days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and offer to the holders of Warrant Shares in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Warrant Shares as such holders may request in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall cause such Warrant Shares to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Warrant Shares requested to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Warrant Shares proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggyback Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggyback Registration.
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.
Unlimited Piggyback 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.
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.
Termination of Piggyback Registration Rights Each Holder’s rights under Section 2.2 shall terminate upon such Holder ceasing to hold at least 1,000,000 of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.
Piggy Back Registration If at any time the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its respective security holders (other than (x) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission), (y) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission); provided that such Registration Statement on Form S-4 does not include any securities other than the securities to be issued by the Company in connection with a transaction that is referenced in clauses (1) through (3) of the General Instructions A.1. of Form S-4 (as such General Instructions are currently in effect), or (z) a Registration Statement pursuant to a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 30 days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof and shall also state the firm intent of the Holder to offer Registrable Securities for sale) (a "Piggy-Back Registration"). The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company or any other security holder included therein and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw, provided that in the event of such withdrawal (other than pursuant to Section 2.3(c) hereof), such Holder shall be responsible for the fees and expenses referred to in Section 3.3(viii) hereof incurred by such Holder prior to such withdrawal relating to such Registration Statement. The Company may withdraw a Piggy-Back Registration at any time prior to the time it becomes effective. No registration effected under this Section 2.2, and no failure to effect a registration under this Section 2.2, shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect a registration upon the request of Holders pursuant to Section 2.1, and no failure to effect a registration under this Section 2.2 and to complete the sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith shall relieve the Company of any other obligation under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Company's obligations under Sections 3.2 and 4.1).
Piggyback Registration (a) If the Company proposes to register any Equity Securities under the Securities Act, whether or not for sale for its own account (including pursuant to a Demand Registration), in connection with a public offering (other than a public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed in connection with a transaction of the type described in Rule 145 of the Securities Act or for the purpose of issuing securities pursuant to an employee benefit plan) it will each such time, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(b) hereof, give prompt written notice at least five days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such registration to all Shareholders and their respective Permitted Transferees (or, in the case of a Demand Registration to all Shareholders and their Permitted Transferees other than the Shareholder making the demand), which notice shall set forth such Shareholders' rights under this Section 5.2 and shall offer all Shareholders the opportunity to include in such registration statement such number of shares of Common Stock as each such Shareholder may request (a "Piggyback Registration"). Upon the written request of any such Shareholder made within 2 days (one of which shall be a Business Day) after the receipt of notice from the Company (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Shareholder), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by such Shareholders, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided, that (i) if such registration involves an Underwritten Public Offering, all such Shareholders requesting to be included in the Company's registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected as provided in Section 5.4(f) on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company or the other selling Shareholder, as applicable, and (ii) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register on its own behalf any stock and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such stock, the Company shall give written notice to all such Shareholders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration. No registration effected under this Section 5.2 on behalf of the Company shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect a Demand Registration, to the extent required by Section 5.1 hereof. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 5.2.
Right to Piggyback Registration (i) If at any time following the date of this Agreement that any Registrable Securities remain outstanding (A) there is not one or more effective Registration Statements covering all of the Registrable Securities and (B) the Company proposes for any reason to register any shares of Common Stock under the 1933 Act (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or a similar or successor form)) with respect to an offering of Common Stock by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its stockholders, it shall at each such time promptly give written notice to the holders of the Registrable Securities of its intention to do so (but in no event less than thirty (30) days before the anticipated filing date) and, to the extent permitted under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act, include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Such notice shall offer the holders of the Registrable Securities the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request and shall indicate the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities.
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.
