Demand Registration Rights At any time after the date two years after the Closing Date, the holders of a majority of the shares of VPI Stock issued to the Founding Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements which have not been previously registered or sold and which are not entitled to be sold under Rule 144(k) (or any similar or successor provision) promulgated under the 1933 Act may request in writing (the "Demand Registration Request") that VPI file a registration statement under the 1933 Act covering the registration of up to all of the shares of VPI Stock issued to the STOCKHOLDERS pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements then held by such Founding Stockholders (a "Demand Registration"). Within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Demand Registration Request, VPI shall give written notice of such request to all other Founding Stockholders and shall, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 45 days after the Demand Registration Request, file and use its best efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement covering all shares requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 17.2. VPI shall be obligated to effect only one Demand Registration for all Founding Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, following the Demand Registration Request a majority of VPI's disinterested directors (i.e., directors who have not demanded or elected to sell shares in any such public offering) may defer the filing of the registration statement for a 60-day period if such deferral is deemed by such directors to be in the best interests of VPI. If immediately prior to the Demand Registration Request VPI has fixed plans to file within 60 days after receipt of the Demand Registration Request a registration statement covering the sale of any of its securities in a public offering under the 1933 Act, no registration of the Founding Stockholders' VPI Stock shall be initiated under this Section 17.2 until 90 days after the effective date of such registration unless VPI is no longer proceeding diligently to effect such registration (in which case the delay contemplated by this sentence would not be applicable); provided that VPI shall provide the Founding Stockholders the right to participate in such public offering pursuant to, and subject to, Section 17.1 hereof.
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.
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.
Effective Demand Registration The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Demand Registration to become and remain effective not later than sixty (60) days after it receives a request under Section 3(a) hereof. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration until it has become effective and remains continuously effective for the lesser of (i) the period during which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold or (ii) 120 days; 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.
Registration Right The Warrant Securities are subject to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement. Upon request, a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available, without charge, from the Company.
Demand Registration (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, at any time on or after the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date, the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities shall have the right to require the Company to file a Registration Statement registering for sale all or part of their respective Registrable Securities under the Securities Act (a “Demand Registration”) by delivering a written request therefor to the Company (i) specifying the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration by such Holder or Holders, (ii) specifying whether the intended method of disposition thereof is pursuant to an Underwritten Offering (as defined below), and (iii) containing all information about such Holder required to be included in such Registration Statement in accordance with applicable Law. As soon as practicable after the receipt of such demand, the Company shall (x) promptly notify all Holders from whom the request for registration has not been received and (y) use reasonable best efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, 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) of the Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register; provided, however, that (i) the Holders shall not make a request for a Demand Registration under this Section 3.2(a) for Registrable Securities having an anticipated aggregate offering price of less than $5,000,000, (ii) the Holders will not be entitled to require the Company to effect more than three (3) Demand Registrations in the aggregate under this Agreement, and (iii) the Company will not be obligated to effect more than one (1) Demand Registration in any six (6) month period.
Postponement of Demand Registration The Corporation shall be entitled to postpone (but not more than once in any 12-month period), for a reasonable period of time not in excess of 60 days, the filing of a Registration Statement if the Corporation delivers to the holders requesting registration a certificate signed by both the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Corporation certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Corporation, such registration and offering would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect or materially interfere with any bona fide material financing of the Corporation or any material transaction under consideration by the Corporation or would require disclosure of information that has not been disclosed to the public, the premature disclosure of which would materially adversely affect the Corporation. Such certificate shall contain a statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. The holders receiving such certificate shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential subject to the same terms set forth in Section 6(p). If the Corporation shall so postpone the filing of a Registration Statement, the Sponsor Investor Shareholder shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Corporation within 20 days of the anticipated termination date of the postponement period, as provided in the certificate delivered to the holders.
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.
Demand Registrations (a) At any time (x) on or after December 31, 2015 one or more Holders Beneficially Owning Registrable Securities (A) representing at least fifteen percent (15%) of the then-outstanding shares of Registrable Securities or (B) that are reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross cash proceeds in excess of $50 million (without regard to any underwriting discount or commission), or (y) on or after the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day following the occurrence of an Initial Public Offering, such Holders (the “Demanding Holders”) shall have the right, by delivering written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”), to require the Company to, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, register under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act the number of Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by such Holders and requested by such Demand Notice to be so registered (a “Demand Registration”); provided; however, that it shall be a condition to making a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering under clause (y) above that the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be registered by the Demanding Holders in such underwritten Demand Registration is at least $25,000,000. A Demand Notice shall also specify the expected method or methods of disposition of the applicable Registrable Securities, including whether such Demand Registration is to be an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such Demand Notice, the Company will notify all other Holders (other than the Demanding Holders) in writing and such other Holders shall have the right to request the Company to include all or a portion of such other Holders’ Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration by written notice delivered to the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after such notice is given by the Company.
