Request for Demand Registration To the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, and subject to Section 6 hereof on up to a maximum of two occasions, at any time on or after the first anniversary of the date hereof, any Crestview Holder (in each case, a “Demand Initiating Holder”) may make a written request to the Company to register, and the Company shall register, under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (a “Demand Registration”), the number of Registrable Securities stated in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect (i) a Demand Registration if the Demand Initiating Holders, together with the Designated Holders (other than the Demand Initiating Holders) that have requested to register securities in such registration statement pursuant to Section 3(b), propose to sell Registrable Securities having aggregate Face Value (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) of less than $30,000,000, and (ii) any Demand Registration within the Specified Period (or such shorter period as the Company may determine in its sole discretion) after the effective date of any other Registration Statement of the Company (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8); provided, further, that a Demand Registration shall be deemed not to have been effected if (i) after it has become effective, such registration statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental authority for any reason other than a misrepresentation or an omission by a Designated Holder affiliated with the Demand Initiating Holder, (ii) the registration statement does not remain effective for the period specified in Section 3(c), or (iii) in the event of an underwritten offering, if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived other than by reason of some wrongful act or omission by a Designated Holder affiliated with the Demand Initiating Holder. In addition, if (1) the Board of Directors, in its good faith judgment, determines that any registration of Registrable Securities should not be made or continued because it would materially impede, delay or interfere with any proposed financing, offer and sale of securities, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization, material operational development or other significant transaction involving the Company or because such registration would require the Company to disclose material nonpublic information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (2) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such proposed transaction or information (a “Valid Business Reason”), (x) the Company may postpone filing a Registration Statement (but not the preparation of the Registration Statement) relating to a Demand Registration until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists or, if later, the occurrence of the Valid Business Reason (but in no event may the duration of such postponement last for more than 45 days after the date when the Demand Registration was requested), and (y) in case a Registration Statement has been filed relating to a Demand Registration, the Company may postpone amending or supplementing such Registration Statement (in which case, if the Valid Business Reason no longer exists or if more than 45 days have passed since such postponement, the Demand Initiating Holder may request a new Demand Registration (which request shall not be counted as an additional Demand Registration for purposes of this Section 3(a)) or request the prompt amendment or supplement of such Registration Statement). The Company shall give written notice to the Demand Initiating Holder of each of its determination to postpone filing, amending or supplementing a Registration Statement, and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement no longer exists or has occurred, as applicable, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone a filing, amendment or supplement under this Section 3(a) due to a Valid Business Reason for more than 90 days in any 12-month period. Each request for a Demand Registration by the Demand Initiating Holder shall state the type and amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof, which may include a distribution of Registrable Securities to, and resale of such Registrable Securities by, the equity holders of any Crestview Holder or its equity holders (a “Partner Distribution”). The Demand Registration may be a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, in which case the provisions of Section 5(f) shall apply.
Priority on Demand Registration If any of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to be sold in a firm commitment underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the holders of such securities in writing that in its view the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such offering (including securities proposed to be included by other holders of securities entitled to include securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights), then there shall be included in such firm commitment underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows, unless the underwriter requires a different allocation:
(i) first, pro rata among the holders of Registrable Securities on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by such holders; and
(ii) second, the securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration, as the case may be, was requested by the Corporation. For purposes of any underwriter cutback, all Registrable Securities held by any Shareholder shall also include any Registrable Securities held by the partners, retired partners, shareholders or Affiliates of such holder, or the estates and family members of any such holder or such partners and retired partners, any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons and, at the election of such holder or such partners, retired partners, trust or Affiliates, any charitable organization, in each case to which any of the foregoing shall have been distributed, transferred or contributed Registrable Securities prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement in connection with such underwritten offering; provided that such distribution, transfer or contribution occurred not more than 90 days prior to such execution, and such holder and other Persons shall be deemed to be a single selling holder, and any pro rata reduction (unless the managing underwriter requires a different allocation) with respect to such selling holder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such selling holder, as defined in this sentence. No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration.
Not Demand Registration Registration pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 2.3 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.4.
Effective Demand Registration The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Demand Registration to be filed not later than thirty (30) days after it receives a request under Section 3(a) hereof and to become and remain effective as soon as practicable thereafter but, in any event, not later than ninety (90) days (or, if the Company is eligible to effect such registration on Form S-3, sixty (60) days) after such filing. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration unless it has become effective and remains continuously effective until the earlier of the date (i) on which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold and (ii) that is the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration; provided, however, that a registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration if (x) after such Demand Registration has become effective, such registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to the Initiating Holders and such interference is not thereafter eliminated or (y) the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure by the Initiating Holder.
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.
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.
Priority on Demand Registrations The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Shares without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares requested to be registered on such Registration Statement and each Principal Stockholder who has requested Registrable Shares that would constitute at least 10% of the Registrable Shares to be included in the Demand Registration, except as set forth in the next sentence. If the Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters for such Demand Registration advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Shares and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number of Registrable Shares and other securities, if any, which can be sold in such offering without significantly delaying or jeopardizing the success of such offering, including by selling at a price per share within a price range reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares requested to be included in the Demand Registration, including, if any securities other than Registrable Shares are to be included in such Demand Registration, each Principal Stockholder who has requested Registrable Shares that would constitute at least 10% of the Registrable Shares to be included in the Demand Registration, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the number of Registrable Shares which can be so sold in the following order of priority: (A) first, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Demand Registration, pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of the total number of Registrable Shares beneficially owned by each such Holder, and (B) second, all other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder; provided however that with respect to the Initial Demand Registration only, the order priority shall be as follows: (1) first, the securities the Company proposed to sell; (2) second, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Demand Registration, pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of the total number of Registrable Shares beneficially owned by each such Holder, and (3) third, all other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder.
Form S-1 Demand If at any time after the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the date of this Agreement or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO, the Company receives a request from Holders of not less than forty percent (40%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities then outstanding, the anticipated aggregate offering price of which, net of Selling Expenses, would exceed $10 million, then the Company shall (x) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give notice thereof (the “Demand Notice”) to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (y) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.3.
Form S-3 Demand If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $5 million, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.3.
Selection of Underwriter in Demand Registration The Fund shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form for an underwritten offering made solely by selling shareholders with the underwriter or, if more than one, the lead underwriter acting as the representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters’ Representative”) selected for the underwriting by the Initiating Holder and with the consent of the Fund, not to be unreasonably withheld.
