Shelf Take-Downs (a) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to qualify for registration on a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 as promptly as possible following the occurrence of the Initial Public Offering. Without limiting the foregoing, once the Company is eligible to effect a registration of its securities on a Shelf Registration Statement (including on Form S-1), any Holder will have the right to elect in the Demand Notice for any Demand Registration to be made on a Shelf Registration Statement, in which event the Company shall file with the Commission, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but not later than forty (45) calendar days after receipt by the Company of such Demand Notice (subject to Section 6), a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof. 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) days after such notice is given by the Company.
(b) At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 is effective, if a Holder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Shelf Take-Down Notice”) stating that one or more of the Holders intends to effect an underwritten offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities included by the Holders on the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”) and stating the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering, then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Underwritten Offering (taking into account the inclusion of Other Securities by any other holders).
(c) The Company shall deliver the Shelf Take-Down Notice to all other Holders whose securities are included on such Shelf Registration Statement and permit each Holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in the Shelf Underwritten Offering if such other Holder notifies the Company within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Shelf Take-Down Notice to such other Holder.
(d) If a Shelf Underwritten Offering is being conducted and the representative of the underwriters provides the Company and the other holders seeking to include securities in such offering in writing a Cutback Notice, then the number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities sought to be included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be allocated for inclusion in accordance with Section 2(c).
(e) All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with such registration requested pursuant to this Section 4 shall be borne by the Company.
Shelf Takedowns In the event that Echo files a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act pursuant to a Holder Demand and such registration becomes effective (such registration statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), any Holder of Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement shall have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, including a “block trade” conducted as an underwritten offering, pursuant to such registration statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”) or in any other manner contemplated by the “Plan of Distribution” in such registration statement. Any Holder making a Holder Demand may make such election by delivering to Echo a written request (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”) for such underwritten offering to Echo specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that such Holder desires to sell pursuant to such underwritten offering (the “Shelf Underwriting”). As promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request (or, in the case of a “block trade,” such shorter period as is reasonably practicable), Echo shall give written notice (the “Shelf Underwriting Notice”) of such Shelf Underwriting Request to all Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities, and the Shelf Underwriting Notice shall offer each Holder the opportunity to include in the Shelf Underwriting that number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing in accordance with this Section 2.1(j). Echo shall include in such Shelf Underwriting (x) the Shelf Registrable Securities of the Holders making the Shelf Underwriting Request and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to Echo for inclusion in such Shelf Underwriting (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) (such persons, “Potential Takedown Participants”) within three (3) Business Days after the Shelf Underwriting Notice has been delivered (or, in the case of a “block trade,” one (1) Business Day). If such Shelf Underwriting is being conducted as a “block trade,” any Potential Takedown Participant’s request to participate in such Shelf Underwriting shall be binding on the Potential Takedown Participant; provided that each such Potential Takedown Participant that elects to participate may condition its participation on such Shelf Underwriting being completed within ten (10) Business Days and/or its acceptance at a price per share (after giving effect to any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) to such Potential Takedown Participant of not less than ninety two percent (92%) (or such lesser percentage specified by such Potential Takedown Participant) of the closing price for the shares of Common Stock on their principal trading market on the Business Day immediately prior to such Potential Takedown Participant’s election to participate. Echo shall, as expeditiously as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Shelf Underwriting. Once a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Holders of Registrable Securities may request, and Echo shall be required to facilitate, an unlimited number of Shelf Underwritings with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that Echo shall not be required to facilitate a Shelf Underwriting until at least 90 days after the later of the date of the underwriting agreement in any prior Shelf Underwriting effected pursuant to this Section 2.1(j) and the effective date of any previous Demand Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(j), (A) each Shelf Underwriting must include, in the aggregate (based on the shares of Common Stock included in such Shelf Underwriting by all Holders participating in such Shelf Underwriting), shares of Common Stock having an aggregate market value of at least $100 million (determined as of the date the Shelf Underwriting Request is made), unless the Shelf Underwriting is of the balance of the Registrable Securities held by the applicable Holder making a Holder Demand and its Affiliates and (B) each Shelf Underwriting is subject to Section 2.1(k).
Shelf Takedown At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by subsection 2.1.1 or 2.1.2, any Holder(s) may request to sell all or a portion of their Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”) provided that such Holder(s) (a) reasonably expect aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000 from such Shelf Underwritten Offering or (b) reasonably expects to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such Shelf Underwritten Offering but in no event for less than $10,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds. All requests for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) business days after receipt of any Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Shelf Underwritten Offering to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to reductions consistent with the Pro Rata calculations in subsection 2.2.4, shall include in such Shelf Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein, within five (5) days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the initiating Holder(s) after consultation with the Company and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this subsection 2.1.3, subject to Section 3.4 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations of the Company and the selling stockholders as are customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company.
Subsequent Shelf Registrations If the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration (as defined below) ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 60 days of such cessation of effectiveness amend such Shelf Registration in a manner to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional “shelf” Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective for the remainder of the Effectiveness Period (except that clause (ii) of the definition of Effectiveness Period for such purposes shall mean the date when all of the Notes have been sold under a Shelf Registration Statement). As used herein the term “Shelf Registration” means the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registrations.
Subsequent Shelf Registration If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.2, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.
Resale Shelf Registration Rights (a) Subject to any contractual lock-up applicable to any Holder, promptly following delivery by a Holder of an Exchange Notice pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, together with a written certification from such Holder, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company’s legal counsel, certifying to such Holder’s compliance with the factual requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Company’s legal counsel to deliver to the transfer agent for the Common Stock an opinion of counsel in such form as the transfer agent deems sufficient to cause any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Exchange Notice to be issued without legends restricting the transfer of such shares of Common Stock without the registration of such shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act prior to such transfer and (ii) deliver to such Holder shares of Common Stock in book-entry form free of any legend restricting the transfer of such shares of Common Stock without the registration of such shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act prior to such transfer.
(b) If the Company is unable to deliver shares of Common Stock to the applicable Holder free of restrictive legends as contemplated by Section 2.1(a), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file within 30 days following delivery by such Holder of an Exchange Notice, and cause to be declared effective as promptly as possible thereafter, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto providing for “short-form” registration) in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act (such registration statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”) or one or more prospectus supplements or post-effective amendments to an already effective Shelf Registration Statement to register the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities covered by such Exchange Notice through ordinary course brokerage or dealer transactions not involving an underwritten public offering; provided that if the Company has already filed a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or 2.1(d) that is effective, the Company shall file any prospectus supplement with respect to all Registrable Securities covered by such Exchange Notice within five (5) days of receipt of the information reasonably required from the applicable Holder to be included in such prospectus supplement.
(c) No later than 30 days following the one year anniversary of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a new, or amend an existing, Shelf Registration Statement to permit the registration of all Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, and to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible thereafter. Any Shelf Registration Statement or amendment to an existing Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) shall include, and may be limited to, such disclosures as are required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the Holders) in order to ensure that all of the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.
(d) If the Company files any Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of one or more Holders, the Company shall include in such Shelf Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the Holders) in order to ensure that all of the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.
(e) To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (a “WKSI”) at the time any Shelf Registration Statement is filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the Company shall cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) on Form S-3. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to remain a WKSI (and to not become, and to seek relief from any determination by the SEC that it is, an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)) during the period during which the Registrable Securities remain Registrable Securities. If the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time the automatic shelf registration statement is filed, the Company agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold in compliance with the SEC rules. If any automatic shelf registration statement has been outstanding for at least three years, at the end of the third year the Company shall refile a new automatic shelf registration statement covering the Registrable Securities that remain unsold. If at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to refile, and cause to be declared effective, the applicable Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto providing for “short-form” registration).
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in consultation with the Company’s lead independent director, in good faith determines that filing a Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus supplement, or causing a Shelf Registration Statement or post-effective amendment to any effective Shelf Registration Statement to become effective, pursuant to this Agreement would (i) materially impede, delay or interfere with any material financing, offer and sale of securities, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization or other similar significant transaction involving the Company, or (ii) require the Company to disclose material, non-public information that would otherwise not be required to be disclosed under applicable law and that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, then the Company may defer its obligation to pursue such filing and effectiveness pursuant to this Agreement for not more than 60 consecutive days following (i) delivery by a Holder of an Exchange Notice pursuant to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement or (ii) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2.1(c), the end of such 30-day period.
Withdrawal of Stop Orders; Subsequent Shelf Registrations If the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the Securities registered thereunder), the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall file an additional Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Securities covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration (each, a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective for a period equal to the number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration was previously continuously effective. As used herein the term “Shelf Registration” means the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registration.
Initial Shelf Registration The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to), as promptly as practicable, file with the SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Shelf Notes (the “Initial Shelf Registration”). The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than the Shelf Effectiveness Date). The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Shelf Notes for resale by Holders in the manner or manners reasonably designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more Underwritten Offerings). The Company and Guarantors shall not permit any securities other than the Shelf Notes to be included in any Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is one year from the effectiveness date of the Initial Shelf Registration (subject to extension pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section 6) (the “Effectiveness Period”), or such shorter period ending when (i) all Shelf Notes covered by the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration (ii) a Subsequent Shelf Registration covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (iii) there cease to be any outstanding Shelf Notes registered thereunder or (iv) the date on which all Registrable Notes covered by such Shelf Registration become eligible for resale without regard to volume, manner of sale or other restrictions contained in Rule 144.
Piggy-Back Registration Rights (a) The Company shall give the Holder at least 30 days’ prior written notice of each filing by the Company of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). If requested by the Holder in writing within 20 days after receipt of any such notice, the Company shall, at the Company’s sole expense (other than the underwriting discounts, if any, payable in respect of the shares sold by an Holder), register all or, at Holder’s option, any portion of the Holder’s shares of common stock received upon conversion of the Shares (the “Common Stock Shares”) concurrently with the registration of such other securities, all to the extent requisite to permit the public offering and sale of the Common Stock Shares through the securities exchange, if any, on which the Company’s common stock is being sold or on the over-the-counter market, and will use its reasonable best efforts through its officers, directors, auditors, and counsel to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. If the managing underwriter of any such offering shall determine and advise the Company that, in its opinion, the distribution of all or a portion of the Common Stock Shares requested to be included in the registration concurrently with the securities being registered by the Company would materially adversely affect the distribution of such securities by the Company, then the Company will include in such registration first, the securities that the Company proposes to sell and second, the Common Stock Shares requested to be included in such registration, to the extent permitted by the managing underwriter.
(b) In the event of a registration pursuant to these provisions, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Common Stock Shares so registered to be registered or qualified for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holder may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business in any state by reason of this section in which it is not otherwise required to qualify to do business.
(c) The Company shall keep effective any registration or qualification contemplated by this section and shall from time to time amend or supplement each applicable registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, application, document and communication for such period of time as shall be required to permit the Holder to complete the offer and sale of the Common Stock Shares covered thereby.
(d) In the event of a registration pursuant to the provisions of this section, the Company shall furnish to the Holder such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case, including all exhibits), of each prospectus contained in such registration statement and each supplement or amendment thereto (including each preliminary prospectus), all of which shall conform to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and such other documents, as the Holder may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of the Common Stock Shares included in such registration.
(e) The Company shall notify the Holder promptly when such registration statement has become effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed.
(f) The Company shall advise the Holder promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued.
(g) The Company shall promptly notify the Holder at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the reasonable request of the Holder prepare and furnish to it such number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Common Stock Shares or securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. The Holder shall suspend all sales of the Common Stock Shares upon receipt of such notice from the Company and shall not re-commence sales until they receive copies of any necessary amendment or supplement to such prospectus, which shall be delivered to the Holder within 30 days of the date of such notice from the Company.
(h) If requested by the underwriter for any underwritten offering of Common Stock Shares, the Company and the Holder will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriter for such offering, which shall be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Company, the Company’s counsel and the Holder’ counsel, and the underwriter, and such agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by the Company and the Holder and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in an underwriting agreement with respect to secondary distributions solely by selling stockholders, including, without limitation, indemnities substantially to the effect and to the extent provided below.
Demand Registration (a) After receipt of a written request from one or more New Holders requesting that the Company effect a registration (a "Demand Registration") under the Securities Act covering all or part of the Registrable Securities which specifies the intended method or methods of disposition thereof and the number of shares to be registered, the Company shall promptly notify all Holders in writing of the receipt of such request and each such Holder, in lieu of exercising its rights under Section 4 hereof, may elect (by written notice sent to the Company within ten (10) Business Days from the date of such Holder's receipt of the aforementioned notice from the Company) to have all or part of such Holder's Registrable Securities included in such registration thereof pursuant to this Section 3, and such Holder shall specify in such notice the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder elects to include in such registration. Thereupon, the Company shall, as expeditiously as is practicable, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days (excluding any days which occur during a permitted Blackout Period under Section 6 below) after receipt of a written request for a Demand Registration, file with the SEC and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective a registration statement (a "Demand Registration Statement") relating to all shares of Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by such Holders ("Participating Demand Holders") for sale, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof, as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so registered; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered (i) be at least $2,500,000, based on the closing trading price of the Common Stock on the date the demand to file such Demand Registration Statement is made, (ii) be at least 25% of the New Registrable Securities initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or (iii) include all Registrable Securities which remain outstanding at such time.
(b) If the majority-in-interest of the Participating Demand Holders in a Demand Registration relating to a public offering requests that the offering be underwritten with a managing underwriter selected in the manner set forth in Section 14 below and such managing underwriter of such Demand Registration advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities to be included in such offering is greater than the total number of securities which can be sold therein without having a material adverse effect on the distribution of such securities or otherwise having a material adverse effect on the marketability thereof (the "Maximum Number of Securities"), then the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the Registrable Securities that the Participating Demand Holders have requested to be registered thereunder only to the extent the number of such Registrable Securities does not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities. If such amount exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, the number of Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration shall be allocated first, among all the New Holders participating in such Demand Registration on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by each New Holder), and, second, to the Existing Holders on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by each Existing Holder); provided, however, that in no event may Registrable Securities held by the Existing Holders be included in such Demand Registration unless all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration by the New Holders are included in such Demand Registration. If the amount of such Registrable Securities does not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities, the Company may include in such Demand Registration any other securities of the Company and other securities held by other security holders of the Company as the Company may in its discretion determine or be obligated to allow, in an amount, which together with the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration, shall not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities.
(c) New Holders shall be entitled to an aggregate of four (4) registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 (each, a "Demand for Registration") in addition to the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2; provided that a registration requested pursuant to this Section 3 shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of this Section 3(c) unless (i) it has been declared effective by the SEC, (ii) it has remained effective for the period set forth in Section 7(a), (iii) Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration have not, prior to the filing of the relevant Demand Registration Statement, withdrawn sufficient shares from such registration such that the remaining Holders requesting registration would not have been able to request registration under the provisions of Section 3, and (iv) the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is not subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC (other than any such stop order, injunction, or other order or requirement of the SEC prompted by act or omission of Holders of Registrable Securities); provided, however, that if the New Holders participating in such Demand Registration are not able to register and sell at least two-thirds of the New Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Demand Registration, then such Demand Registration shall not be counted as one of the five Demands for Registration provided for pursuant to this Section 3(c).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to prepare and file (i) more than two (2) Demand Registration Statements in any twelve-month period, (ii) any Demand Registration Statement within 90 days following the date of effectiveness of any other Registration Statement or (iii) any Demand Registration Statement within 90 days following the date of effectiveness of any other registration statement filed pursuant to any other registration rights agreement to which the Company is a party or with respect to the sale of Common Stock by the Company (or such longer period of time as may be specified in an underwriting agreement relating to such registration statement).
