Requesting that District employee(s) evaluate the Consultant and the Consultant’s employees and subcontractors and each of their performance.
Demand Notice Promptly upon receipt of a Demand Registration Request pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (but in no event more than three Business Days thereafter), the Company shall deliver a written notice (a “Demand Notice”) of any such Demand Registration Request to all other Holders and the Demand Notice shall offer each such Holder the opportunity to include in the Demand Registration that number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing. Subject to Section 3.1.7, the Company shall include in the Demand Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within three Business Days after the date that the Demand Notice was delivered.
Requested Registration 2.1 In case Company shall receive from an Investor a written request that Company effect any registration with respect to any of the Registrable Securities, Company shall, as soon as practicable, use reasonable best efforts to effect such registration (including 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) on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not available, then on Form S-1 (or any successor forms of registration statements to such Forms S-3 or S-1 or other available registration statements) and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of the Registrable Securities for which registration is requested as promptly as possible and in any event within 60 days of the request for registration. The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of an Investor under this Section 2.1 may include securities of Company held by other securityholders of Company who, by virtue of agreements with Company, are entitled to include their securities in any such registration, but Company shall have no absolute right to include securities for its own account in any such registration. Within ten days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company's notice. 2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2: (a) unless the amount of Registrable Securities for which registration is requested is at least 500,000 shares (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event); provided, however, that if the total number of Registrable Securities held a requesting Investor (but not a transferee of Investors other than a member of Holdings) is less than 500,000 shares (as adjusted to give effect to any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or any similar event or transaction), then such Investor (but not a transferee of Investors other than a member of Holdings) may request registration under this Section 2 as to all but not less than all of such Registrable Securities as may then be held by such requesting Investor; (b) after Company has initiated two registrations on S-1 pursuant to this Section 2 (counting for these purposes only registrations that have been declared effective); provided that the Company shall, subject to Section 2.2(a), be obligated to file (i) unlimited registration statements on S-3 and (ii) unlimited additional registration statements on S-1 to the extent all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with such S-1 registration are borne by the requesting Investors. 2.3 Any offering of securities made under this Section 2 may, at the option of the requesting Investors, be pursuant to a "firm commitment" underwriting. In such event, Company (together with the requesting Investors) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the requesting Investors with the consent of Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration to the extent required by such limitation as follows: (a) if the registration was initiated for the account of any Investors (the "Initiating Holders"), the number of shares reduced shall be: (A) first, any shares sought to be registered by Company for its own account; (B) second, if further reductions are required, any shares sought to be registered by holders of securities other than the Initiating Holders who have requested to include their securities in such registration, pro rata based on the number of shares requested to be included in such registration; and (C) third, if still further reductions are required, any securities sought to be registered by the Initiating Holders pro rata based on the number of Shares requested to be included in such registration; and (b) if the managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, Company may include securities for its own account or for the account of others in such registration if the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration will not thereby be limited.
Notice of Registration If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register any of its securities, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or (ii) a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, the Company will: (i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and (ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by any Holder.
Request for Demand Registration Subject to Section 3(f) below, at any time after 6 months from the date of the consummation of an Initial Public Offering, each of the Designated Holders (other than the Individual Investors who, for purposes of this Section 3, shall be deemed to be part of any Demand Registration in which Whitney is the Initiating Holder) (each an "INITIATING HOLDER") shall have the right to make one request in writing that the Company register Registrable Securities under the Act, and under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction designated by such holder or holders (each such registration under this Section 3(a) that satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 3(b) is referred to herein as a "DEMAND REGISTRATION"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Management Stockholders shall only be entitled to one demand right as a group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to effect more than three Demand Registrations. Each request for a Demand Registration by an Initiating Holder in respect thereof shall specify the amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold, the intended method of disposition thereof and the jurisdictions in which registration is desired. Upon a request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall promptly take such steps as are necessary or appropriate to prepare for the registration of the Registrable Securities to be registered. Within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such request, the Company shall give written notice thereof to all other Designated Holders and include in such registration all Registrable Securities held by a Designated Holder from whom the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein at least ten (10) days prior to the filing of the registration statement. Each such request will also specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered, the intended method of disposition thereof and the jurisdictions in which registration is desired. Subject to Section 3(d), the Company shall be entitled to include in any registration statement and offering made pursuant to a Demand Registration, authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, shares of Common Stock held by the Company as treasury shares or shares of Common Stock held by stockholders other than the Designated Holders; PROVIDED, that such inclusion shall be permitted only to the extent that it is pursuant to and subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement or arrangements, if any, entered into by the Initiating Holder exercising the Demand Registration rights.
Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities Notwithstanding the right of any Holder to request a Resale Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.1.1, the Company shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission as soon as practicable (but in any case no later than 15 calendar days after the Effective Date) a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act or any successor thereto registering the resale from time to time by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after filing, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing (or ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be filed on any then applicable form. If the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is initially filed on Form S-1 and thereafter the Company becomes eligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is on Form S-3. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.3.1 is filed on Form S-3 and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders of such ineligibility and use its best efforts to file a shelf registration on an appropriate form as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that at any time the Company once again becomes eligible to use Form S-3, the Company shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form S-3. Once effective, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement that is required to be filed pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 and Prospectus included therein continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available at all times until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing, and (ii) as to any particular Holder, the date on which the Holder ceases to hold any Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement (subject to the Lock-Up Period applicable to such Holder, which shall control), and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, Holders. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed hereunder may also register Common Shares other than Registrable Securities, including shares sold by the Company in one or more PIPE transactions and shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants.
Aggregation of Registrable Securities All Registrable Securities held or acquired by Persons who are Affiliates of one another shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.
Demand Registration (a) If at any time following completion of the Initial Public Offering, subject to the terms of any “lock-up” agreement entered into with one or more underwriters (unless waived by such underwriter(s)), the Company shall receive a request (each such request shall be referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”) from a Shareholder or group of Shareholders (the requesting Shareholder(s) shall be referred to herein as the “Requesting Shareholder”), holding at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act (i) for the first Public Offering of the Company after the completion of the Initial Public Offering (the “Follow-On Offering”), at least twenty percent (20%) of the Requesting Shareholder’s Registrable Securities then outstanding (or any lesser percentage if the anticipated aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed $10,000,000), or (ii) after the completion of the Follow-On Offering, all or any portion of the Requesting Shareholder’s Registrable Securities and, in each case, specifying the intended method of disposition thereof, then the Company shall as promptly as practicable following the date of receipt by the Company of such request give notice of such Demand Registration at least fifteen (10) days after receipt of such Demand Registration to the other Shareholders, if any, and thereupon shall (i) as soon as practicable, and in any event within forty five (45) days after the date the Demand Registration is given by the Requesting Shareholder, file a registration statement under the Securities Act, and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date the Demand Registration is given by the Requesting Shareholder, the effectiveness of the registration statement, in each case covering: (i) subject to the restrictions set forth in Sections 2.01(e), all Registrable Securities for which the Requesting Shareholder has requested registration under this Section 2.01, and (ii) subject to the restrictions set forth in Sections 2.01(e), all other Registrable Securities of the same class as those requested to be registered by the Requesting Shareholder that any other Shareholders (all such Shareholders, together with the Requesting Shareholder, the “Registering Shareholders”), if any, have requested the Company to register pursuant to this Section 2.01, by request received by the Company within seven Business Days after such Shareholders receive the Company’s notice of the Demand Registration, all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration unless the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration equals or exceeds $10,000,000. In no event shall the Company be required to effect more than two (2) Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.01. (b) Promptly after the expiration of the seven-Business Day period referred to in Section 2.01(a)(ii), the Company will notify all Registering Shareholders of the identities of the other Registering Shareholders and the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration, the Requesting Shareholder may revoke such request, without liability, by providing a notice to the Company revoking such request. Notwithstanding clause (d) below, a request, so revoked, shall be considered to be a Demand Registration unless (i) such revocation arose out of the fault of the Company (in which case the Company shall be obligated to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such revoked request) or (ii) the Requesting Shareholder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses (other than the expenses set forth under clause (v) of the definition of the term Registration Expenses) of such revoked request. (c) The Company shall be liable for and shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Demand Registration, regardless of whether such Registration is effected, unless the Requesting Shareholder elects to pay such Registration Expenses as described in the last sentence of Section 2.01(b). (d) A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have occurred unless the registration statement relating thereto (i) has become effective under the Securities Act and (ii) has remained effective for a period of at least 180 days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities of the Registering Shareholders included in such registration have actually been sold thereunder), provided that a Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have occurred if, after such registration statement becomes effective, such registration statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court. (e) If the Requesting Shareholder intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as part of their request pursuant to section 2.01, and the Company shall include such information in their notice to the other Shareholders. If a Demand Registration involves an underwritten Public Offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the Requesting Shareholder that, in its view, the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (including any securities that the Company proposes to be included that are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the largest number of shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold (the “Maximum Offering Size”), the Company shall include in such registration, in the priority listed below, up to the Maximum Offering Size: (i) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by all Registering Shareholders (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Shareholders on the basis of the relative number of Registrable Securities held by each such Shareholder, or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such Registering Shareholders); and (ii) second, any securities proposed to be registered by the Company (including for the benefit of any other Persons not party to this Agreement). (f) The Company may postpone effecting a registration pursuant to this Section 2.01 on two occasions during any period of twelve consecutive months for a reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding 90 days in the aggregate in any period of twelve consecutive months (which period may not be extended or renewed), if the Company furnishes to the Requesting Shareholder a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that (i) effecting the registration would materially and adversely interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company or (ii) effecting the registration would require the premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose to preserve as confidential. In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 2.01 during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration (other than a registration on Form S-8 or any successor or similar forms), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.
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.
Allocation of Registrable Securities The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time such Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee or assignee (as the case may be) that becomes an Investor shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then-remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor or assignee (as the case may be). Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement.
