Expenses of Company Registration The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section 3 for each Holder, including without limitation all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto and the fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders (selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered), but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities.
Priority on Secondary Registrations If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially requesting such registration, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, to the extent that the number of shares to be registered will not, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, adversely affect the offering of the securities pursuant to clause (i), pro rata among the Holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares so requested to be included therein owned by each such Holder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.
Priority on Primary Registrations If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.
Priority of Securities Registered Pursuant to Demand Registrations If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering of a class of Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration (or, in the case of a Demand Registration not being underwritten, the holders of a majority of a class of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement), inform the holders of such Registrable Securities in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number or amount of securities of such class requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number or amount which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the class of securities offered or the market for the class of securities offered, the number or amount of Registrable Securities of such class that can be included without having such an adverse effect shall be allocated:
(i) first, pro rata among the holders which have requested participation in the Demand Registration (based, for each such holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (x) the number or amount of Registrable Securities of such class which such holder has requested to include in such Demand Registration by (y) the aggregate number or amount of Registrable Securities of such class which all such holders have requested to include);
(ii) second, and only if all the securities referenced in clause (i) have been included, any other securities of the Issuer requested by the holders thereof to included in such registration that, in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect shall be included therein, with such number to be allocated pro rata among such holders (based, for each such holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (x) the number or amount of such securities of such class which such holder has requested to include in such registration by (y) the aggregate number or amount of securities of such class which all such holders have requested to include); and
(iii) third, and only if all of the Registrable Securities referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) have been included and in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters such securities can be sold without having such adverse effect securities offered by the Issuer for its own account. To the extent that any Registrable Securities requested to be registered are excluded pursuant to the foregoing, the holders thereof shall have the right to one additional Demand Registration under this Section 2.2.
Company Registration If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Subsection 2.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Subsection 2.6.
Priority of Piggyback Registration If the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of shares of Common Stock included in a Piggyback Registration advises Contango that the total shares of Common Stock which the Selling Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a material and adverse effect on the offering price, timing or probability of success of the distribution of the Common Stock offered or the market for the Common Stock, then the Piggyback Notice provided by Contango pursuant to Section 2.2(a) shall include notification of such determination or, if such determination is made after the Piggyback Notice has been given, then Contango shall furnish notice in writing (including by e-mail) to the Holders (or to those who have timely elected to participate in such Underwritten Offering), and the Common Stock to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall include the number of shares of Common Stock that such Managing Underwriter or Underwriters advises Contango can be sold without having such material and adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) if such Piggyback Registration was initiated by Contango, (A) first, to Contango, (B) second, pro rata among the Selling Holders and any other Persons who have been or after the date hereof are granted registration rights on parity with the registration rights granted under this Agreement (the “Other Holders”) who have requested participation in the Piggyback Registration (based, for each such Selling Holder or Other Holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (1) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Selling Holder or such Other Holder in such offering; by (2) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by all Selling Holders and all Other Holders in the Piggyback Registration), and (C) third, to any other holder of shares of common stock with registration rights that are subordinate to the rights of the Holders hereunder and (ii) if such Piggyback Registration was not initiated by Contango, (A) first, to the Persons initiating such Registration, (B) second, pro rata among the Selling Holders and any Other Holders who have requested participation in the Piggyback Registration (based, for each such Selling Holder or Other Holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (1) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Selling Holder or such Other Holder in such offering; by (2) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by all Selling Holders and all Other Holders in the Piggyback Registration other than the Persons initiating such Registration), and (C) third, to any other holder of shares of common stock with registration rights that are subordinate to the rights of the Holders hereunder.
Incidental Registration (i) Whenever the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock or equity compensation plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Shares, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered, at any time and from time to time, it will, prior to such filing, give written notice to all Holders of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of a Holder or Holders given within twenty (20) days after the Company provides such notice, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares which the Company has been requested by such Holder or Holders to register to be registered under the Securities Act; provided that the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant to this Section C without obligation to any Holder other than pursuant to Section E.
(ii) In connection with any offering under this Section C involving an underwriting, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Shares in such underwriting unless the Holders thereof accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it, and then only in such quantity, subject to the restrictions set forth below, as will not, in the written opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If in the written opinion of the managing underwriter the registration of all, or part of, the Registrable Shares that the Holders have requested to be included would adversely affect such public offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the underwriting only that number of Registrable Shares that the managing underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect. If the number of Registrable Shares to be included in the underwriting in accordance with the foregoing is less than the total number of shares which the Holders of Registrable Shares have requested to be included, then the Company may include all securities proposed to be registered by the Company to be sold for its own account; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Shares shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first excluded from the underwriting (including securities held by employees, officers and directors) and the Holders of Registrable Shares who have requested registration shall participate in the underwriting pro rata based upon their total ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Company. If any Holder would thus be entitled to include more shares than such Holder requested to be registered, the excess shall be allocated among other requesting Holders pro rata based upon their total ownership of Registrable Shares.
(iii) All Holders of Registrable Shares proposing to distribute their securities in an offering under this Section C involving an underwriting shall (together with the Company and other shareholders, if any, of securities distributing their shares through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for the underwriting.
Registration and Indorsement It will ensure that all financial assets (other than cash) credited to the Collateral Account are registered in the name of the Financial Institution, indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Financial Institution and that no financial asset credited to the Collateral Account is registered in the name of the Grantor, payable to the order of the Grantor or specially indorsed to the Grantor unless it has been indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank.
Piggy-Back Registrations If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.
Priority on Piggyback Registrations (a) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering and was initiated by the Company, and if the managing underwriter advises the Company that the inclusion of Registrable Shares requested to be included in the Registration Statement would cause an Adverse Effect, the Company shall include in such registration statement (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares owned by each such Holder, and (iii) third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration. If as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.2.2(a) any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Shares in a registration that such Holder has requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable Shares in such registration statement.
(b) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering and was initiated by a security holder of the Company, and if the managing underwriter advises the Company that the inclusion of Registrable Shares requested to be included in the Registration Statement would cause an Adverse Effect, the Company shall include in such registration statement (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the security holders requesting such registration and the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, any other securities requested to be included in such registration (including securities to be sold for the account of the Company). If as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.2.2(b) any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Shares in a registration that such Holder has requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable Shares in such registration statement.
(c) No Holder may participate in any registration statement in respect of a Piggyback Registration hereunder unless such Holder (x) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (y) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents, each in customary form, reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties in connection with any such registration other than representations and warranties as to (i) such Holder’s ownership of his or its Registrable Shares to be sold or transferred free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, (ii) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer, and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested; provided, further, however, that the obligation of such Holder to indemnify pursuant to any such underwriting arrangements shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders selling Registrable Shares, and the liability of each such Holder will be in proportion to, and provided, further, that such liability will be limited to, the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of his or its Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration.
