Common use of Requests for Incidental Registration Clause in Contracts

Requests for Incidental Registration. If the Issuer proposes to register any equity securities under the Securities Act, including registrations pursuant to Section 3.1(a), whether or not for sale for its own account (other than (i) a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any other form relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in an Issuer equity plan or a registration in which the only equity securities being registered are equity securities issuable upon the conversion of debt securities which are also being registered and (ii) a registration pursuant to Section 3.2(a)), the Issuer shall give written notice to each Holder at least 20 days prior to the initial filing of such registration statement with the SEC of its intent to file such registration statement and such notice shall describe the proposed registration and distribution arrangements, and offer such Holders the opportunity to register the number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request. Upon the written request of any Holder made within 15 days after any such notice is given (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder), the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to effect the registration (an “Incidental Registration”) under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Issuer has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof.
