Notice of Registration Required The Engineer’s use of the Flying ‘T’ under this article shall be followed by the capital letter R enclosed within a circle (®) that gives notice that the Flying ‘T’ is registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Registration on Request (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this Section 2.1, upon the written request of Holders (which request must be initiated by either Stonegate Securities, Inc. or any of its directors or officers who are Holders) owning at least 60,000 Registrable Securities (as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and the like) (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered), the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, notify all other Holders of such request (and allowing them to participate therein), and use its best efforts to effect the registration under tie Securities Act of the Registrable Securities of all Holders which the Company has been so requested to register.
(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.
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.
Suspension of Registration If the continued use of the Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, suspend use of the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension (i) more than twice during any 12-month period; or (ii) for a period exceeding 60 days on any one occasion. In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders in writing upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Shelf Registration Statement or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by any Holder.
Limitations on Requested Registration The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.1:
(i) Prior to the earlier of (A) the four (4) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (B) six (6) months following the effective date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering;
(ii) 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;
(iii) After the Company has initiated two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1 (counting for these purposes only (1) registrations where at least 75% of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered are in fact registered and which have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have been sold, and (2) registrations that closed, or were withdrawn at the request of the Holders (other than as a result of a material adverse change to the Company)); or
(iv) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) days (or in the case of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, one hundred eighty (180) days) after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration (other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans); provided that (A) the Company is actively employing in good faith best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, (B) with respect to any request for registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) received prior the date of filing of such Company-initiated registration, the Company shall have delivered written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intent to file such registration within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such request.
Termination of Registration Rights A Holder’s registration rights as to any securities held by such Holder (and its Affiliates, partners, members and former members) shall not be available unless such securities are Registrable Securities.
Suspension of Registration Statement (a) The Company shall immediately notify counsel of the Holders of, and confirm in writing, the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement with respect to such Holder's Registrable Shares or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement as soon as practicable.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company's obligation under this Agreement to cause a Registration Statement and any filings with any state securities commission to become effective or to amend or supplement a Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein shall be suspended (i) in the event and during such period as unforeseen circumstances exist that would require additional disclosure of material information that would make it impractical or unadvisable, in the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, to cause the Registration Statement or such filings to become effective or to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, or (ii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or such filings or an amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein could, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, interfere with a proposed financing, acquisition or reorganization, the conduct or outcome of any litigation or would require the disclosure of information that the Company has a bona fide purpose for preserving as confidential (each, a "Suspension Event"); provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by applicable law, there shall not be more than three (3) Suspension Events in any 12-month period; and provided further that no Suspension Event shall exceed sixty (60) days. The Company shall notify counsel to the Holders in writing of the existence and, to the extent possible under applicable law, nature of any Suspension Event.
(c) Each Holder agrees that, following the effectiveness of any Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Shares of such Holder, such Holder will not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement or any filings with any state securities commissions at any time after such Holder has received written notice from the Company to suspend sales as a result of the occurrence or existence of any Suspension Event or so that the Company may correct or update such Registration Statement or filing in accordance with Section 2(f). Such Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement or filing upon further notice to such effect from the Company which notice shall be given by the Company promptly after the conclusion of any such Suspension Event.
Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder by the Company under this Section 1 may be transferred or assigned by a Holder only to a transferee or assignee of not less than twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of Registrable Securities (as presently constituted and subject to subsequent adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, and the like), provided that the Company is given written notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and, provided further, that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of such Holder under this Section 1.
