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any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1;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condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain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.
Registration Expenses The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.
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.
Shelf Takedown At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by subsection 2.1.1 or 2.1.2, any Holder(s) may request to sell all or a portion of their Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”) provided that such Holder(s) (a) reasonably expect aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000 from such Shelf Underwritten Offering or (b) reasonably expects to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such Shelf Underwritten Offering but in no event for less than $10,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds. All requests for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) business days after receipt of any Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Shelf Underwritten Offering to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to reductions consistent with the Pro Rata calculations in subsection 2.2.4, shall include in such Shelf Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein, within five (5) days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the initiating Holder(s) after consultation with the Company and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this subsection 2.1.3, subject to Section 3.4 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations of the Company and the selling stockholders as are customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company.
Piggy Back Registration (a) If the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, authorize a registration of its Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Company shall furnish the Holder with at least 30 days prior written notice thereof and the Holder shall have the option to include the Shares to be issued to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant in such registration statement. The Holder shall exercise the "piggy-back registration rights" granted pursuant to this Section 7 by giving written notice to the Company within 20 days of the receipt of the written notice from the Company described above.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Company's obligations under this Section 7 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) The obligations of the Company set forth under this Section 7 shall not arise upon the filing of a registration statement that covers any of the following: (A) securities proposed to be issued in exchange for assets or securities of another corporation; (B) debt securities not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock; (C) securities to be issued pursuant to a transaction registered on Form S-4 (or any registration form promulgated by the SEC in substitution of that form); or (D) a stock option, stock bonus, stock purchase, or other employee benefit or compensation plan or securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan.
(ii) If the Company files a registration statement in connection with an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter of the proposed offering to grant any request by the Holder that Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant be included in the proposed public offering on terms and conditions that are customary under industry practice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter of the public offering of the Common Stock gives written notice to the Company that, in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriter, marketing factors require a limitation of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be underwritten, then the number of Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall be obligated to include in the registration statement shall be reduced in accordance with the limitations imposed by the managing underwriter.
(iii) The Holder must provide to the Company all information, and take all action, the Parent reasonably requests with reasonable advance notice, to enable it to comply with any applicable law or regulation or to prepare the registration statement that will cover the Shares that will be included in the registration.
(c) The Company will pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) in connection with the registration of the Shares pursuant to this Section 7. For purposes of this Warrant, the term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this Section 7, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, state Blue Sky fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, cost of engraving of stock certificates, costs for mailing and tombstone advertising, cost of preparing the registration statement, related exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, underwriting documents, selected dealer agreements, preliminary and final prospectuses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration, but excluding underwriting discounts and selling commissions attributable to the Shares and the fees and expenses of the Holder's own counsel and accountants, which shall be borne by the Holder.
Registration Fees 39.01 The Employer shall reimburse an employee for the employee’s payment of membership or registration fees to organizations or governing bodies when the payment of such fees is a requirement for the continuation of the performance of the duties of his or her position, or for professional development or certification purposes.
Requested Registration Until April 26, 2001 or the date that all of the shares of Xxxxxxx common stock Beneficially Owned by the Shareholders are eligible for sale under Rule 144 of the SEC without any volume limitation, whichever is earlier, subject to the following provisions a Shareholder may request that Xxxxxxx register all or a portion of his Registrable Securities. If Xxxxxxx shall receive a written request from one or more Shareholders that Xxxxxxx effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or a part of such Shareholders' Registrable Securities, then Xxxxxxx will, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, give notice to all other Shareholders of the receipt of such request and each such holder may elect by written notice received by Xxxxxxx within ten (10) days from the date of the notice by Xxxxxxx to have all or part of his Registrable Securities included in such registration. Upon receipt of such notice, Xxxxxxx will, as soon as practicable, use reasonable efforts to effect the registration on Form S-3 and pursuant to Rule 415 (the "Resale Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which it has been so requested to register covering resales from time to time of such Registrable Securities and Xxxxxxx shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter; and (ii) maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement continuously until the earliest of: (A) the date on which the Shareholders no longer hold Registrable Securities registered under the Resale Registration Statement or (B) the third anniversary of this Shareholder Agreement or such lesser time as may be permitted under Rule 144 under the Securities Act to enable the Shareholders to sell the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act without such registration. Xxxxxxx: (i) shall not be obligated to cause any special audit to be undertaken in connection with any such registration; (ii) shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of ninety (90) days, the filing of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared pursuant to this section if Xxxxxxx is, at such time, conducting or about to conduct an underwritten public offering of Equity Securities (or securities convertible into Equity Securities) and is advised in writing by its managing underwriter that such underwritten public offer would, in its opinion, be adversely effected by the registration so requested; and (iii) shall be entitled to postpone such requested registration for up to ninety (90) days if Xxxxxxx determines, in view of the advisability of deferring public disclosure of material corporate developments or other information, that such registration and the disclosure required to be made pursuant thereto would not be in the best interest of Xxxxxxx at such time.
Shelf Takedowns In the event that Echo files a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act pursuant to a Holder Demand and such registration becomes effective (such registration statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), any Holder of Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement shall have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, including a “block trade” conducted as an underwritten offering, pursuant to such registration statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”) or in any other manner contemplated by the “Plan of Distribution” in such registration statement. Any Holder making a Holder Demand may make such election by delivering to Echo a written request (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”) for such underwritten offering to Echo specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that such Holder desires to sell pursuant to such underwritten offering (the “Shelf Underwriting”). As promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request (or, in the case of a “block trade,” such shorter period as is reasonably practicable), Echo shall give written notice (the “Shelf Underwriting Notice”) of such Shelf Underwriting Request to all Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities, and the Shelf Underwriting Notice shall offer each Holder the opportunity to include in the Shelf Underwriting that number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing in accordance with this Section 2.1(j). Echo shall include in such Shelf Underwriting (x) the Shelf Registrable Securities of the Holders making the Shelf Underwriting Request and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to Echo for inclusion in such Shelf Underwriting (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) (such persons, “Potential Takedown Participants”) within three (3) Business Days after the Shelf Underwriting Notice has been delivered (or, in the case of a “block trade,” one (1) Business Day). If such Shelf Underwriting is being conducted as a “block trade,” any Potential Takedown Participant’s request to participate in such Shelf Underwriting shall be binding on the Potential Takedown Participant; provided that each such Potential Takedown Participant that elects to participate may condition its participation on such Shelf Underwriting being completed within ten (10) Business Days and/or its acceptance at a price per share (after giving effect to any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) to such Potential Takedown Participant of not less than ninety two percent (92%) (or such lesser percentage specified by such Potential Takedown Participant) of the closing price for the shares of Common Stock on their principal trading market on the Business Day immediately prior to such Potential Takedown Participant’s election to participate. Echo shall, as expeditiously as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Shelf Underwriting. Once a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Holders of Registrable Securities may request, and Echo shall be required to facilitate, an unlimited number of Shelf Underwritings with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that Echo shall not be required to facilitate a Shelf Underwriting until at least 90 days after the later of the date of the underwriting agreement in any prior Shelf Underwriting effected pursuant to this Section 2.1(j) and the effective date of any previous Demand Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(j), (A) each Shelf Underwriting must include, in the aggregate (based on the shares of Common Stock included in such Shelf Underwriting by all Holders participating in such Shelf Underwriting), shares of Common Stock having an aggregate market value of at least $100 million (determined as of the date the Shelf Underwriting Request is made), unless the Shelf Underwriting is of the balance of the Registrable Securities held by the applicable Holder making a Holder Demand and its Affiliates and (B) each Shelf Underwriting is subject to Section 2.1(k).
Demand Registration (a) After receipt of a written request from one or more New Holders requesting that the Company effect a registration (a "Demand Registration") under the Securities Act covering all or part of the Registrable Securities which specifies the intended method or methods of disposition thereof and the number of shares to be registered, the Company shall promptly notify all Holders in writing of the receipt of such request and each such Holder, in lieu of exercising its rights under Section 4 hereof, may elect (by written notice sent to the Company within ten (10) Business Days from the date of such Holder's receipt of the aforementioned notice from the Company) to have all or part of such Holder's Registrable Securities included in such registration thereof pursuant to this Section 3, and such Holder shall specify in such notice the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder elects to include in such registration. Thereupon, the Company shall, as expeditiously as is practicable, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days (excluding any days which occur during a permitted Blackout Period under Section 6 below) after receipt of a written request for a Demand Registration, file with the SEC and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective a registration statement (a "Demand Registration Statement") relating to all shares of Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by such Holders ("Participating Demand Holders") for sale, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof, as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so registered; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered (i) be at least $2,500,000, based on the closing trading price of the Common Stock on the date the demand to file such Demand Registration Statement is made, (ii) be at least 25% of the New Registrable Securities initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or (iii) include all Registrable Securities which remain outstanding at such time.
(b) If the majority-in-interest of the Participating Demand Holders in a Demand Registration relating to a public offering requests that the offering be underwritten with a managing underwriter selected in the manner set forth in Section 14 below and such managing underwriter of such Demand Registration advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities to be included in such offering is greater than the total number of securities which can be sold therein without having a material adverse effect on the distribution of such securities or otherwise having a material adverse effect on the marketability thereof (the "Maximum Number of Securities"), then the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the Registrable Securities that the Participating Demand Holders have requested to be registered thereunder only to the extent the number of such Registrable Securities does not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities. If such amount exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, the number of Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration shall be allocated first, among all the New Holders participating in such Demand Registration on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by each New Holder), and, second, to the Existing Holders on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by each Existing Holder); provided, however, that in no event may Registrable Securities held by the Existing Holders be included in such Demand Registration unless all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration by the New Holders are included in such Demand Registration. If the amount of such Registrable Securities does not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities, the Company may include in such Demand Registration any other securities of the Company and other securities held by other security holders of the Company as the Company may in its discretion determine or be obligated to allow, in an amount, which together with the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration, shall not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities.
(c) New Holders shall be entitled to an aggregate of four (4) registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 (each, a "Demand for Registration") in addition to the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2; provided that a registration requested pursuant to this Section 3 shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of this Section 3(c) unless (i) it has been declared effective by the SEC, (ii) it has remained effective for the period set forth in Section 7(a), (iii) Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration have not, prior to the filing of the relevant Demand Registration Statement, withdrawn sufficient shares from such registration such that the remaining Holders requesting registration would not have been able to request registration under the provisions of Section 3, and (iv) the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is not subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC (other than any such stop order, injunction, or other order or requirement of the SEC prompted by act or omission of Holders of Registrable Securities); provided, however, that if the New Holders participating in such Demand Registration are not able to register and sell at least two-thirds of the New Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Demand Registration, then such Demand Registration shall not be counted as one of the five Demands for Registration provided for pursuant to this Section 3(c).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to prepare and file (i) more than two (2) Demand Registration Statements in any twelve-month period, (ii) any Demand Registration Statement within 90 days following the date of effectiveness of any other Registration Statement or (iii) any Demand Registration Statement within 90 days following the date of effectiveness of any other registration statement filed pursuant to any other registration rights agreement to which the Company is a party or with respect to the sale of Common Stock by the Company (or such longer period of time as may be specified in an underwriting agreement relating to such registration statement).
