  • Underwritten Offerings (a) The Initiating Holder shall have the right to select the book-running managers and the co-managers (collectively, the “managing underwriter”) in connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3; provided, that the selection of the managing underwriter by the Initiating Holder shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Board. In connection with such underwritten offering, the Company and the Initiating Holder shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting, provided, that such underwriting agreement is in customary form, provides for customary compensation, expense reimbursement and indemnification, and otherwise is reasonably acceptable to the Initiating Holder and the Company. (b) Upon the receipt by the Company of an Underwritten Demand Notice or a Shelf Underwritten Demand Notice, the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, as applicable is being effected. In the event that any such Holder delivers to the Company, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such written notice to the Holder by the Company, a written request to include in such underwritten offering any Registrable Securities of the Holder, the Company shall include such Registrable Securities in the registration statement; provided that the Company need not include in an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 3 any Registrable Securities that are not then included in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement (unless the Company is then a WKSI). The right of any Holder to include Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s willingness to enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering (in each case, unless otherwise mutually agreed by such Holder, the Initiating Holders and the Company). (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter of an underwritten offering in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in such offering in writing that in its good faith judgment the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities which can be sold in such offering at a price acceptable to the applicable Initiating Holder, then (i) the number of Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such offering shall be reduced to that number of shares which in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter can be sold in such offering at such price and (ii) this reduced number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated among all Holders of Registrable Securities in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders. (d) Those Registrable Securities which are excluded from an underwriting in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 hereof by reason of the managing underwriter’s marketing limitation and all other Registrable Securities not originally requested to be so included shall not be included in such offering and shall be withheld from the market by the Holders thereof for a period (not to exceed ninety (90) days) which the managing underwriter reasonably determines is necessary to effect the underwritten offering. (e) If the managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be included in an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, the Company and, subject to the requirements of Section 8 hereof, the other holders of the Company’s securities may include securities for its (or their) own account in such registration if the managing underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have been included in such offering will not thereby be limited.

  • Reduction of Underwritten Offering If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of Holders (Pro Rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has so requested) exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the Common Stock or other equity securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.
