NERC Registration The NTO shall register or enter into agreement with a NERC registered entity for all required NERC functions applicable to the NTO, that may include, without limitation, those functions designated by NERC to be: “Transmission Owner” and “Transmission Planner” and “Transmission Operator.” The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith the compliance obligations for the NERC functions applicable to, and to be performed by, each Party with respect to the NTO’s facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ISO shall register for the “Transmission Operator” function for all NTO Transmission Facilities under ISO Operational Control identified in Appendix A-1 of this Agreement.
Form S-3 Registration In case the Company shall receive from Preferred Stock Holders a written request that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3, subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in Section 3.4(b), and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Preferred Stock Holder or Preferred Stock Holders, the Company agrees:
(a) to promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) as soon as practicable after receiving such a request, to effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Preferred Stock Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification, or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.4 if (i) Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders; (ii) the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $2,000,000; (iii) the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Preferred Stock Holders under this Section 3.4, provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any eighteen (18) month period; or (iv) the Company has effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 (or its then equivalent) pursuant to this Section 3.4 during such calendar year and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective and the sales of Registrable Securities under such registration statement have closed.
(c) Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 3.3.
SEC Registration The Parties mutually agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain effective registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the long-term incentive awards to the extent any such registration statement is required by applicable Law.
Non-Registration The Shareholder understands that the shares of Parent Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholder’s representations as expressed herein.
Short-Form Registrations (a) In addition to the Long-Form Demand Registration provided pursuant to Section 2.1 above, from and after the time the Company becomes eligible to register securities issued by it on a Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement, ULSE shall be entitled to request registrations under the Securities Act of all or part of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, if available to the Company, or any similar short-form registration statement (“Short-Form Demand Registrations” and, together with the Long-Form Demand Registration, “Demand Registrations”); provided, however, that with respect to any requests under this Section 2.2(a), the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration shall be or exceed $25,000,000 (without regard to underwriting discounts and commissions).
(b) Upon receipt of any written request pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act. Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Demand Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form. There will be no limit on the aggregate number of such Short-Form Demand Registrations. Short-Form Demand Registration rights pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall include automatic shelf registrations (“ASR”) if the Company is a “well-known seasoned issuer,” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to qualify and remain qualified to register securities pursuant to a Form S-3 or similar short-form registration statement. Subject to the Company not being eligible to register securities on Form S-3, the Company shall cause any Form S-3 or ASR to remain outstanding and shall renew any Form S-3 or ASR upon expiration if there are shares remaining unsold thereunder.
(c) Following the effectiveness of a Short-Form Demand Registration, ULSE may at any time and from time to time request the initiation of an offering or sale of all or part of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder (a “Shelf Take-Down”).
Registration, etc Each Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, if for any reason the Collateral Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Securities of the Borrower at a public sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, use its best efforts to take or to cause the issuer of such Pledged Securities to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Collateral Agent to permit the public sale of such Pledged Securities. Each Pledgor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party, any underwriter and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses to the Collateral Agent of legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Pledgor or the issuer of such Pledged Securities by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each Pledgor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its best efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Securities to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Securities under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such states as may be requested by the Collateral Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Pledgor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 12. Each Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 12 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 12 may be specifically enforced.
Long-Form Registrations The Requisite Holders shall be entitled to request, and the Company shall be obligated to effect, (i) one Long-Form Registration in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses ("Company Paid Long Form Registration"), and (ii) unlimited Long-Form Registrations in which the holders of Registrable Securities shall pay the Registration Expenses other than the Internal Expenses (as defined in Section 5 hereof). A registration shall not count as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations until it has become effective, and a Company-paid Long Form Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Company-paid Long-Form Registrations unless the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration; provided that in any event the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Company-paid Long-Form Registration whether or not it has become effective and whether or not such registration has counted as one of the permitted Company-paid Long-Form Registrations. All Long-Form Registrations shall be underwritten registrations.
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.
Additional Registration Rights If Issuer at any time after the exercise of the Option proposes to register any shares of Issuer Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with an underwritten public offering of such Issuer Common Stock, Issuer will promptly give written notice to Grantee of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of any Selling Stockholder given within 30 days after receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock intended to be included in such underwritten public offering by the Selling Stockholder), Issuer will cause all such shares for which a Selling Stockholder requests participation in such registration to be so registered and included in such underwritten public offering; provided, however, that Issuer may elect to not cause any such shares to be so registered (i) if in the reasonable good faith opinion of the underwriters for such offering, the inclusion of all such shares by the Selling Stockholder would materially interfere with the marketing of such offering (in which case Issuer shall register as many shares as possible without materially interfering with the marketing of the offering), or (ii) in the case of a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a registration filed on Form S-4 of the Securities Act or any successor Form. If some but not all the shares of Issuer Common Stock with respect to which Issuer shall have received requests for registration pursuant to this Section 10(b) shall be excluded from such registration, Issuer shall make appropriate allocation of shares to be registered among the Selling Stockholders desiring to register their shares pro rata in the proportion that the number of shares requested to be registered by each such Selling Stockholder bears to the total number of shares requested to be registered by all such Selling Stockholders then desiring to have Issuer Common Stock registered for sale.
Qualification; Registration The Manager shall cause the Company to be qualified, formed or registered under assumed or fictitious name statutes or similar laws in any jurisdiction in which the Company transacts business and in which such qualification, formation or registration is required or desirable. The Manager, as an authorized person within the meaning of the Act, shall execute, deliver and file any certificates (and any amendments and/or restatements thereof) necessary for the Company to qualify to do business in a jurisdiction in which the Company may wish to conduct business.
