Transfer of Registration Rights (a) A Holder may transfer all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any transferee of Registrable Securities that represent (assuming the conversion, exchange or exercise of all Registrable Securities so transferred that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Company's Voting Stock) at least 20% of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock of the Company (each, a "Permitted Transferee"); provided, however, that (i) with respect to any transferee of less than a majority but more than 30% of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock, the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement pursuant to a registration request made by such transferee pursuant to Section 2 hereof on more than two occasions, and (ii) with respect to any transferee of 30% or less of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock, the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement pursuant to a registration request made by such transferee pursuant to Section 2 hereof on more than one occasion. No transfer of registration rights pursuant to this Section shall be effective unless the Company has received written notice from the Holder of an intention to transfer at least 20 days prior to the Holder's entering into a binding agreement to transfer Registrable Securities (10 days in the event of an unsolicited offer). Such notice need not contain proposed terms or name a proposed Permitted Transferee. On or before the time of the transfer, the Company shall receive a written notice stating the name and address of any Permitted Transferee and identifying the number and/or aggregate principal amount of Registrable Securities with respect to which the rights under this Agreement are being transferred and the scope of the rights so transferred. In connection with any such transfer, the term Zapaxx xx used in this Agreement (other than in Section 2(a)(iv)) shall, where appropriate to assign the rights and obligations hereunder to such Permitted Transferee, be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee of such Registrable Securities. Zapaxx xxx any Permitted Transferees may exercise the registration rights hereunder in such priority, as among themselves, as they shall agree among themselves, and the Company shall observe any such agreements of which it shall have notice as provided above. (b) After any such transfer, the transferring Holder shall retain its rights under this Agreement with respect to all other Registrable Securities owned by such transferring Holder. (c) Upon the request of the transferring Holder, the Company shall execute an agreement with a Permitted Transferee substantially similar to this Agreement.
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.
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.
Other Registration Rights The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange (a) The Borrower shall cause to be kept a register (the “Exchange Note Register”) in which, subject to reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Borrower shall provide for the registration of Exchange Notes and the registration of transfers of Exchange Notes. The Administrative Agent initially shall be the “Exchange Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Exchange Notes and transfers of Exchange Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Exchange Note Registrar, the Borrower shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Exchange Note Registrar. If a Person other than the Administrative Agent is appointed by the Borrower as Exchange Note Registrar, the Borrower will give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of the appointment of such Exchange Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Exchange Note Register, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to inspect the Exchange Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof at its own expense, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Exchange Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Exchange Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Exchange Notes. (b) The Exchange Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other applicable securities laws and will not be listed on any exchange. An Exchange Noteholder may only offer, sell or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, an Exchange Note pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all other applicable securities laws. Transfers of the Exchange Notes will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the related Exchange Note Supplement. The Exchange Notes shall bear the following legend: “THIS EXCHANGE NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES THAT SUCH EXCHANGE NOTE IS BEING ACQUIRED NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION AND MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR TRANSFERRED ONLY TO A QUALIFIED PURCHASER PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE AND ANY SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL BE REQUIRED TO CERTIFY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT SUCH HOLDER OR SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS AWARE THAT THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A. THE HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF SUCH EXCHANGE NOTES FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO ABOVE. NO RESALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF ANY EXCHANGE NOTE SHALL BE MADE TO ANY TRANSFEREE UNLESS: (A) SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT, AND WILL NOT ACQUIRE THE EXCHANGE NOTE ON BEHALF OR WITH THE ASSETS OF, AN “EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), THAT IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF ERISA ANY OTHER “PLAN” THAT IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975(e)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), AN ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE “PLAN ASSETS” PURSUANT TO 29 C.F.R. SECTION 2510.3-101 OR A GOVERNMENTAL, NON-U.S., CHURCH OR OTHER PLAN WHICH IS SUBJECT TO ANY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. LAW THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE (“SIMILAR LAW”) OR (B) ITS ACQUISITION, HOLDING AND DISPOSITION OF THE EXCHANGE NOTE (OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN) WILL NOT CONSTITUTE OR RESULT IN A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR, IN THE CASE OF A GOVERNMENTAL, NON-U.S., CHURCH OR OTHER PLAN, A VIOLATION OF ANY SIMILAR LAW. EACH HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL NOT TRANSFER THIS EXCHANGE NOTE OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN EXCEPT TO A PURCHASER WHO CAN MAKE THE ABOVE REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS PURCHASING. THE HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EXCHANGE NOTE REGISTRAR AND THE BORROWER RESERVE THE RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION AS THE EXCHANGE NOTE REGISTRAR OR THE BORROWER MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE PROPOSED SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.” (c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Exchange Note, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Borrower shall execute, and the Administrative Agent shall authenticate and the Exchange Noteholder shall obtain from the Administrative Agent, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Exchange Notes in any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. At the option of the Exchange Noteholder, Exchange Notes may be exchanged for other Exchange Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Exchange Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Exchange Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Borrower shall execute, and the Administrative Agent shall authenticate and the Exchange Noteholder shall obtain from the Administrative Agent, the Exchange Notes which the Exchange Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Exchange Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Borrower, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Credit and Security Agreement and the related Exchange Note Supplement, as the Exchange Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Exchange Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent duly executed by, the Exchange Noteholder thereof or such Exchange Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Exchange Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Exchange Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. No service charge shall be made to an Exchange Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes, but the Borrower may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes. The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not be required to make and the Exchange Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Exchange Notes selected for redemption or of any Exchange Note for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Exchange Note.
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.
Assignment of Registration Rights The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Effectiveness of Registration Statement; Compliance with Registration Requirements; No Stop Order During the period from and after the execution of this Agreement to and including the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as applicable: (i) the Company shall have filed the Prospectus with the Commission (including the information required by Rule 430A under the Securities Act) in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act; or the Company shall have filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement containing the information required by such Rule 430A, and such post-effective amendment shall have become effective; and (ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, shall be in effect and no proceedings for such purpose shall have been instituted or threatened by the Commission.
Absence of Registration Rights There are no persons with registration rights or other similar rights to have any securities (debt or equity) (A) registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or included in the offering contemplated by this Agreement or (B) otherwise registered by the Fund under the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act. There are no persons with tag-along rights or other similar rights to have any securities (debt or equity) included in the offering contemplated by this Agreement or sold in connection with the sale of Securities by the Fund pursuant to this Agreement.
Copies of Registration Statement The Company will furnish the Dealer Manager with one signed copy of the Registration Statement, including its exhibits, and such additional copies of the Registration Statement, without exhibits, and the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, which are finally approved by the Commission, as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request for sale of the Shares.
