(b) The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any registration requested by the Holders pursuant to subsection (a) above (i) after two years from the date of this Warrant, or (ii) after the Company has effected one (1) registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 and such registration has been declared or ordered effective.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) unless it has become effective and remains effective for at least 180 days; provided, however, that a registration which does not become effective after the Company has filed a registration statement with respect thereto solely by reason of the refusal by a requesting Holder, in its sole discretion, to proceed with such registration shall be deemed to have been effected by the Company at the request of the Holders unless the requesting Holder shall have elected to pay all Company Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 4 below) in connection with such registration, (ii) if after it has become effective such registration 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 other than a misrepresentation or an omission by any participating Holder, or (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied other than by reason of some wrongful act or omission, or act or omission in bad faith, by any participating Holder.
(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 within 90 days after the effective date of any underwritten public offering by the Company (which period may be extended up to an additional 90 days if, and only to the extent that, all directors, executive officers and other persons with registration rights with respect to securities of the Company are required to execute standard lockup agreements with the underwriters in such public offering) or of any previous registration withdrawn at the request of the requesting Holders. The Company may postpone for up to 90 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 if the financial advisor and/or underwriter to the Company certifies to the holders of the Registrable Securities that such registration would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company; provided, however, that in such event the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting such Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Registration shall not count as the one permitted registration under this Section 2.1 and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such postponed or withdrawn registration. Notwithstanding the above, the Company may delay a demand registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 only once in any twelve month period. In addition, upon written notice from the Company to Holder of the effectiveness of an underwritten public offering, Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities under any registration statement effected under this Section 2.1 for a period of thirty (30) days following such effective date.
Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights Other than as provided in Section 5.10, after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder rights to demand the registration of shares of the Company’s capital stock, or to include such shares in a registration statement that would reduce the number of shares includable by the Holders.
Registration on Form S-3 (a) If any Holder or Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the then outstanding Registrable Securities or Bayer or any assignee thereof in accordance with the Warrant Agreement requests that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a public offering of shares of the Registrable Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered for the offering on such form. The Company will (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders, and (ii) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the request, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice from the Company. The substantive provisions of Subsection 2.5(b) shall be applicable to each registration initiated under this Subsection 2.7.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Subsection 2.7: (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; (ii) in a given twelve month period, after the Company has effected two (2) such registrations pursuant to subparagraph 2.7(a); or (iii) if the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for registration statements to be filed in the near future, then the Company’s obligation to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for up to two periods of sixty (60) days each, such sixty (60) day periods not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such Holder or Holders. The Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve-month period.
